By Michelle Markel & Amanda Hall
Henri Rousseau wanted to be an artist, but he had no formal training. So he taught himself to paint, working until the jungles and animals and distant lands in his head came alive on the space of his canvases. Michelle Markels vivid text, complemented by the vibrant illustrations of Amanda Hall, artfully introduces young readers to this beloved painter who endured the harsh critics of his day and created the brilliant paintings that now hang in museums around the world.
